A brief history of REDUCE

In 2008, Tony Hearn, who is the main and original author of this software, wrote:

In 1963, I began work on a software system that would in time evolve into REDUCE. By 1968, copies had been made available to various researchers throughout the world. Forty years later, there is still an active community of users. In order to encourage further development, I have decided to make the software freely available under a modified BSD license.

The Open Source version of the REDUCE algebra system was registered on SourceForge.net on Dec 18, 2008.

A small number of these people have made sustained contributions to the REDUCE core and associated packages over many years, namely John Fitch, Herbert Melenk, Winfried Neun, Arthur Norman and Eberhard Schrüfer.

Page last modified on Warning: date(): It is not safe to rely on the system's timezone settings. You are *required* to use the date.timezone setting or the date_default_timezone_set() function. In case you used any of those methods and you are still getting this warning, you most likely misspelled the timezone identifier. We selected the timezone 'UTC' for now, but please set date.timezone to select your timezone. in /home/project-web/reduce-algebra/htdocs/footer.inc on line 2
